About me

My journey to become a counsellor started whilst I was a flight attendant for an American Airline. As I speak 4 languages, and had studied Psychology at College I was able to help the new girls who were nervous and anxious about starting their new careers. This was my first real insight into peoples psyche, their different perceptions of situations, in fact their uniqueness. It is because of this that I chose the school of Integrative Counselling which applies itself well to this uniqueness. I decided around 1992 to train as a counsellor as I felt that my qualities of empathy, good understanding of the Human Psyche as well as being non-judgemental and open minded may be of value.

My personality is friendly, empathic, non-judgemental.

I feel that a client would benefit from my work and life experiences underpinned by different schools of counselling, as well a real wish to understand the presenting problem.

I see clients at home in a self-contained office, tastefully decorated and in pleasant, peaceful surroundings, there is ample parking space available.
